       festival-clinet	allows waveforms ot be generated faster	as not time is

       recommended use.

	       text file

       --ttw   Text  to	waveform: take text from first arg or stdin get	server

BUGS
       This  still isn't as general as it should be.  It seems to require lots
       of special little options which suggests	 the  general  options	aren't
       right.
